ACOUSTICS AND MICROFLUIDICS
Acoustophoresis: the art of combining acoustics and microfluidics The manipulation of particles is an essential feature of Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices. LOC-systems provide a platform where biochemical assays can be miniaturized, integrated and automated in a simple, portable, fast and cost-efficient way [1]. Acoustophoretic devices are a type of LOC systems in which particles can be moved and spatially localized by sound. An acoustophoretic system is typically made of a chip with embedded
